Ace Computers’ Announces its New NUC Micro Desktops for Schools

Ace Computers' just announced the rollout of a tiny, but powerful Vision Pico NUC micro desktop that lets schools convert computer labs into much-needed classroom space, be nearly immune to technology theft and save money.

ADDISON, Ill. (PRWEB) January 24, 2013

What if schools could convert their computer labs into much-needed classroom space, be nearly immune to technology theft and save money in the process? Ace Computers’ tiny, but powerful Vision Pico NUC micro desktops promise just that and much more for a price that leaves laptops in the dust. The basic palm-sized device includes a motherboard, processor and case, but no memory, storage or operating system. Custom upgrades are nearly limitless.

Ace Computers’ new Vision Pico is based on Intel’s cutting-edge Next Unit of Computing (NUC) technology. The NUC features an Intel Core i3 processor in a highly customizable package. Like all Intel mobile CPUs it uses the full Intel HD 4000 GPU. The benefits to schools include:

Less Need for a Computer Lab: Since the Vision Pico NUC is both highly portable and can be unobtrusively installed on an individual desk—it seamlessly brings computing power into the classroom.

Less Vulnerability to Theft: The NUC can be bolted in place (for example the underside of a desk).

Significantly Less Energy Draw: The entire system consumes less than 50W of power. This means “always on” is not a problem.

Rugged: The tough case and quality components make this device hard to damage.

Lower Price: When compared with a laptop…the Vision Pico NUC with either a touchscreen monitor or monitor and keyboard, still comes out ahead.

John Samborski, Ace Computers’ CEO said, “Our long-term partnership with Intel is a major reason that we stay on the cutting-edge. The Vision Pico NUC is a great example. We saw the possibilities and benefits to schools immediately and used our expertise to develop custom NUCs that will maximize benefits for our clients.”

While there are no analog audio connectors, audio output can be routed through an HDMI port. To find out more, visit Ace Computers’ website: http://www.acecomputers.com.
